‘New Addition’ (Chris Trotman - NBA/Getty Images)

Los Angeles landed Pau Gasol. Phoenix is clearing multiple lockers to usher Shaq back into title contention (on a completely unrelated note, how fun would it be to see Shaq and Kobe square off in the playoffs?). Pressure is mounting for other GMs to pull the trigger […]

The Jazz interior defense was nonexistent. They had one of those nights, like the Lakers had in Salt Lake. Quite the flip-flop.
Actually, it was more about how the Lakers played. When the Lakers play, like they did last night, and against Phoenix, they look like the best team in the league. They play Boston Sunday, […]

The game Saturday night against Seattle was certainly a welcome win. Watching the game from the stands is always more fun than watching it from the couch, even though this game was not in any way close to the level of excitement or skill I saw at the Laker game a couple of weeks ago.
I […]

One of the rules of cyberspace is that me too posts are poor form and unnecessary. I know just about every blog on Jazzbots up here now is about the Lakers, but I just can’t help chiming in. First, I have to agree with JR. Twice actually. 24 MILLION DOLLARS?!?! Does the front office […]

‘Fish: Back Where he Belongs’ (A. Bernstein - NBAE/Getty Images)
There has been a lot of discussion, recriminations, boos, cheers, hugs and castigations of Fish. And, I’ve got to take the blame for some small part of the hub-bub.
Fish is a great guy! He is a great leader and community minded citizen. You can tell he […]

‘Bring on the Lakers!’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)
Walking into the Energy Solutions Arena on Friday night I was a little surprised to see SOOO many Laker fans showing their colors! I knew that there were quite a few Laker fans but I didn’t expect 1/4th of the people at the game.
The game […]

‘Fes: Ready in a Flash’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)
Why do I think sports are such a powerful example to my girls??? Take a look at the lessons learned in the Jazz vs. Lakers game on Thursday!
Lesson #1 If you can’t start, BE READY: It is so easy for youth to get […]

By the end of the month we are going to have a valid reading on how good the Jazz are EXCEPT they won’t have played any of the big boys other than the Pistons and possibly the Hornets (really not one of the big boys) The rest of the others are teams who really aren’t […]

Air travel hasn’t been a fun experience for a long time now. Since 9/11 it has, in fact, become the opposite. But the airlines are trying to make it better. Delta recently unveiled plans to help keep its customers entertained. With the installation of this seatback system, passengers on U.S. flights of four hours or […]

FINAL SCORE — LAKERS 119 JAZZ 107
This is a disappointing performance. The Jazz never brought the intensity of the defensive end that was needed to win. The Jazz have been poor defensively in the last two games thus far.
The Laker supporting […]
